Biochemistry of Alzheimer's disease amyloid plaques.

Clinical biochemistry - 1 Oct 1993

Fraser P E, Lévesque L, McLachlan D R

Abstract excerpt

One of the principal identifying features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the extracellular deposition of fibrous protein aggregates in the form of amyloid plaques. The major component of these deposits is the amyloid beta (A beta) protein that is a proteolytic fragment of the integral membrane amyloid precursor protein (APP). Understanding the pathways responsible for A beta formation and the mechanism by which...
